i don’t. the gist of the book – and i’ll emphasize again that “gist” is all there is because it’s ai generated drivel – is that if you consider the material basis of the value of companies when making investment decisions, you’ll probably come out ahead against people who are swayed by the empty promises of vaporware. start by reading actual theory, even something short like wages, price, and profit and just apply that to whether you think a company will be worth investing in, and it’ll be a better use of your time.
And even that is abdominal advice.
The stock market often is counterintuitive to material analysis.
Tesla is the highest valued car company in America.
Games top is a hot stock because a bunchnof nerds figured out mass market manipulation, they’re brilliant material analysis was to start selling nfts, somehow their stock remains high.
sure, it depends on what your goals are. if i recall correctly, the book even has a section on fictitious capital that’s formatted as 5 paragraphs with an introductory paragraph and conclusion paragraph and 3 paragraphs in the middle of restating a few definitions of fictitious capital and how marxist investors need to take this in to account when making investment decisions.
that’s only if you’re looking at it from the perspective of a prole looking at use-value and what “makes sense” from a sensible grounded point of view. If you fully accept the ass-backwards spackle and tape superstition that capitalist economy operates on, where it is just one big confidence game and ponzi scheme; then using dialectical materialist and historical materialist analysis within that framework can absolutely bear fruit. That does not mean under any circumstances this is what it should be used for. I would bully a friend if I found out they were vulgarizing materialist liberation philosophy for such shameless petty-bourgeois ends.
case in point; they figured out the ways that markets can be manipulated without any real basis; because the stock market as it exists and has existed for a long time is all one big confidence game and ponzi scheme at the end of the day. They had a real materialist analysis of the situation, they just have no principles nor have it attached to any ideology or ethos beyond printing more money from nothing because they figured out they can do it, just as Musk and these other dipshits can do it.
